... reminds me of some venerable board member letting his kids use the box of he Andrew Hill Mosaic to draw whilst in the backseat of his car

Looks about right to me - haven't seen any others, not that I remember. The only one I've got is the Blakey/Monk one.

Offer is good - though the box is not sealed - one of the copies I got missed a disc (which was just supplied by the label) and thus I opened up the other to make sure the contents are okay. The set is brand-spanking new, unplayed, it will be carefully packed. It's yours for 80€ (Europe) or 90€ (Overseas) - shipping (& tracking) included.

Not that I know, but my first reflex is of course to post: are you kidding? Kinda funny to see the new Bootleg set (finally arrived here today, inspite of having pre-ordered many weeks ago) in the midst of all those crappity craps linked below.

The black "Original Vogue Masters" would most of the time display original cover art inside the digipack - though when a disc contains several EPs or 10" albums, they would be pretty small reproductions.

big advantage if someday all goes down the potty

Don't discs get scratched by using these plastic sleeves? Or do you all use additional "inner sleeves" or paper sleeves for the discs themselves?

Little to none, it seems. Counting existing sets of this material (none of the discs filled to the brim though): - Basie on Decca: 3 CD - Pres on Aladdin: 2 CD - Pres on Commodore: roughly 1 CD - Pres on Keynote: 1 CD - Pres' session with Nat Cole for Verve: half a CD That leaves a disc for the other bits mentioned, plus some 15-20 minutes per disc to fill everything to the brim, if they're inclined to do so (usually they're not).

I'm confused, since I still don't even know what a "pocket cornet" is ... those on the top two Cherry photos I posted seem to be pocket trumpets, both. Wiki has a pic that makes that conclusion seem correct: I also just found this: source: http://www.pocketcornets.com/html/about_pocket_cornets.html So I guess I'll never really be able to tell them apart anyway

Okay ... and on my work computer the Curson cover shows, at home it wouldn't - weird.

There is Ti-Pi-Tin from March, 1938 - a studio Benny Goodman track with Lester sitting in and soloing beautifully. Freddie Green and Walter Page are also there. If you have been listening to the three-disc Basie Decca set, you are in for a treat. The sound quality on the HEP releases of that music is SO much better, and I am sure that Mosaic will work at that level. Thanks - not sure if I know "Ti-Pi-Tin", but I guess I have it in some form - and that exactly (meaning some sessions only on CDRs received from friends) is the reason I'm interested. And of course I am hoping for an sonic upgrade of the Decca material indeed!

still confused (and I only see one pic above, the first one ist just a part of a URL so I can't even look it up) - this here would then be that Besson thing? while this here would be the nasty thing: so, what's this: regular cornet? anyway, the one in the top pic is MUCH smaller than what was introduced as Taylor Ho Bynum's pocket trumpet (is Alexander Hawkins reading this, he might know about Taylor's instruments?)

site won't load, please someone tell me! okay, just loaded, after hitting F5 at least twenty times ... mostly duplication here as well of course, but I'll quite certainly go for it! what Goodman sides are there, other than a jam w/Teddy Wilson and the studio jam with Charlie Christian that was on the Pres/Basie set?

I've not come far yet but found it more gripping, more forward-driving than Schornsheim - but I really need more time to dig deeper.

Interesting! ... when I heard Anthony Braxton recently, Taylor Ho Bynum was announced as playing pocket trumpet, but the instrument looked more like a regular cornet to me ... though I'm sure the guy who announced the band got the info straight from Taylor - Don Cherry's regular instrument (as seen on those photos) looks much smaller for sure, but I had always assumed to be a pocket trumpet, not a pocket cornet.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

The James P. was mentioned before here, I think ... another Basie/Lester sounds great ... but what is left from later years? Much of it is transcriptions and live recordings, would be a first for Mosaic to do such as set (and obviously there'd be some terrific live recordings from the period covered in the 1936-40 set).

Not sure, but there were two long shows in Dietikon: http://www.plosin.com/MilesAhead/Sessions.aspx?s=711022

Very sad news indeed. Will put on the album he made with Charlie Haden later on.

disc one, and probably two as well - still way too hot to even think about sleeping

But then Isn't that the whole selling point of doing an interview with Donaldson?
